Four
years ago, my classmates and I visited Dieng. We went to Dieng by bus. We left
school at seven in the morning. It took us 15 hours to get to Dieng. Before we
arrived at Dieng, we stopped at Wonosobo to change our bus into smaller bus. It
took us 2 hours to get to Dieng from Wonosobo.
After
we arrived at Dieng, we were greeted by local residents with a big bonefire. The
air in Dieng at that time was very cold. After the welcome ceremony, we are ready
for dinner. Well, even though it’s past the dinner hour, we are still greedily eating
our meal. Around 12.00 pm, we haeded to the resident’s house to rest.
The
next day, we woke up at four o’clock. And you know? The air at that time was
colder than last night. Me and my friends are lazy to take a shower, finally we
just brush our teeth and was may face, after that we wear warm clothes to
gather in the yard. After the students had gathered, we walked to the top of
Dieng mountain. During the trip we didn’t see anything, because at five o’clock
it was still dark. After thirty minutes, we arrived at the resort area. Hmmm,
unfortunately at that time the weather was not good, so our teachers said “the
trip stopped at the resort area”.
At
six o’clock we saw the sun rise. It was beautiful, we are very greatful to
enjoy the warmht of the sun. After that we headed to minibus that had been
prepared to go to talaga colour. The scenery in talaga colour was beautiful. After
seeing the sights, we went to dieng plateu theater to watch a documentary video
about Dieng. After 20 minutes the movie was finished. After that, we headed to
the minibus again to go to creater sikidang. After arrived at creater sikidang,
we were greeted with a very stinging sulfur smell. At eight o’clock we went back
home for breakfast together. After breakfast, we headed to the home. We celaned
up all our things, and by ten o’clock we ready for getting back to Wonosobo. Before
that, we went to tample of arjuna. There was a traditional ceremony, it called “Pemotongan
Rambut Gembel”. Where the participants of this traditional ceremony is a child
with dreadlock hair. After the ceremony was over, we headed to the bus to go to
Wonosobo. After arrived at Wonosobo, we changed the bus to continue study tour
to Yogyakarta.
We
felt tired that day, but we were very happy to visit the various sights that
are on Dieng. We hope that Dieng can be loved by visitors and goverment.
